Thousands gather at tomb of slain Benazir

Tens of thousands of Pakistanis massed yesterday near the tomb of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto on the eve of ceremonies marking the first anniversary of her killing, officials said.
More than 35,000 people had already arrived in rural southern Pakistan ahead of Saturday's ceremonies at the Benazir Bhutto family mausoleum in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) spokesman Ijaz Durrani told AFP.
People were travelling by train, bus, car, bicycle and even on foot to reach the site, he said. Hundreds of thousands were expected by Saturday.
